I can't believe how crazy it sounds to hear that the nuclear industry is trying to build more plants and get more federal funding to do so.

The nuclear industry is actually trying to paint itself green! It is true that they don’t emit greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. But, do they think we’ve forgotten disasters like Three-Mile Island and Chernobyl? There is still no way to take care of nuclear waste that will remain dangerous for 240,000 years.

But this isn’t stopping the nuclear industry from trying to convince Americans and Congress that we need more nuclear reactors here in the U.S. Right now, they’re lobbying Congress for increased funding to build more and expand current nuclear power facilities. This is an outrage! Your taxpayer dollars should be invested in renewable energy sources like wind and solar, NOT towards dangerous nuclear power.

Take action now before the nuclear industry puts us all in danger! Tell your Representative that you don’t want nuclear power and that they should put an end to nuclear subsidies and support renewable energy instead.

This is just outrageous! I'm writing my Representative right now.
